Star Citizen is negative hours toward being complete. And that's optimistic.

So I'm looking at the state of sales for this year. At best reckoning... 2015 had 7 completely new ships, not counting the variants for those ships and/or prior ones. So .58 new ship concept sales per month for the year. 2016 had 9 completely new ships. That's .75 new ship concept sales per month for the year. 2017 had 11 completely new ships. That's .92 new ship concept sales per month for the year. We are in June right now, up to this date... 2015 had 4 new concept ships on sale. 2016 had 3 new concept ships on sale. 2017 had 3 new concept ships on sale. 2018 has had, up to this date, 4 new concept ships on sale. The Vulcan The Shamrock Connie The 100i The Hercu-lifter The new Drake ship, the Vulture, is scheduled to go on sale in early June. 5 months is about 42% of the year. 2015's first 5 months brought in 14.8 million. Of the year's total of 35.9 million, 58% of the incoming capital came after those 5 months. 2016's first 5 got 10.2. Total year was 36.1, 71% came after 5 months. 2017's first 5 got 10.2 as well. Total year was 34.9, 70% came after 5 months. 2018's first 5 got 11.1. Total year is projected ~36.0, 69% comes after 5 months. 2018 is doing better, because of extra ship sales and sale days. Remember my old analysis, I'm projecting around 215 days of sales, or nearly 60% of the year, to bring in 87% of the year's incoming capital.

Daztek posted:I like how they always make ~30-35 million each year The thing is, a majority of the money is now being earned from sale days, and not off-days. Days without sales are ever declining in income. It's shifting from 79% from sales to a projected 87%. That's a substantial jump. It's shifting from 38% sale days per year to a projected nearly 60%. That's a big jump. It's an attempt to keep a 35-36 million annual capital income. That's a lot of work for no gain from the prior years.

Quick ask a game development related question. Should they fail to answer correctly, their cover will be blown. Goons and haters clearly don't understand game development. It's like a Voigt Kampff test for sleeper agents. You're welcome thread intern.

https://pastebin.com/mNx6igjg Patch 3.2 Ships and Vehicles * Updated retro thruster art and animation on the M50. * Added landing gear compression to Starfarer Base and Gemini. • Complete Rework: Aegis Avenger including increase in base size, increase in hardpoint size, changes in default loadout, new animations, along with interior and exterior revamp. * Updated the MISC Prospector to have a tractor/siphoning beam and a laser cutting beam for mining, as well as supporting animations. * Own/Self status MFDs are now on and selectable for the Retaliator. * Updated the visual effect of the Khartu-Al's quantum travel. * Update for cockpit animations of the Reclaimer. * Shield health is now a single pool divided per face rather rather than individual pools. * Updated the Drake Herald with landing gear compression. * Expanded the flight ready interaction set triggers to prevent overlap with door interactions on the Hornet series. * Lowered power plant output to create meaningful consequences to power allocation. * Rebalanced heat generation and cooling to create more meaningful consequences to components and ship functioning. * Reduced the shield and power plant available slots on the Sabre. * Increased passive and active power draw for ship weapons. * Set up shield generator power use to be proportional to the amount of shield energy required. * Updated ship atmospheric terminal velocities to correct some ships being able to exceed them. * Lowered base IR and EM signatures for all ships. * Enabled paints in the VMA and setup the Aurora to equip its various paint schemes. * Repositioned and centered the HUD on the Sabre. * Increased the range of AMRS Scatterguns, range and damage of APAR scatterguns, and increased the spread of all scatterguns. * Updated Reliant to only carry 1 size 3 gun rather than 2. * Retuned boost scale of Razor and variants to match other ships and made variants closer to base model.

Quavers posted:Apparently Yeah, it is after looking. I was just dumb because it just seemed so lackluster but it's CIG so hey, should have known better. Here's the mining mechanic: quote:Prospecting for Deposits: To scan for deposits, use the "ping" mechanic. Enter the ship's scanning mode (TAB) then hold and release RMB to scan. Any minable deposits will appear highlighted with a UI targeting bracket around them. Note: A ping will also temporarily increase passive radar detection range.

I like that guy. He provides info based on the manner it was requested, and Bootcha asked in a very nice way. At the end of the day, anyone who didn't want to help could have simply not said anything. Instead its full out attack. And that ladies and gentlemen is why i quit posting there. Its simply not worth it when any time you dare to say anything critical you get dogpiled by toxic assholes. I did get a few cool people who were willing to debate, and after several posts back and forth we ended our discussions agreeing to disagree. Such people are a credit to their community. Still, in a way, i'm quite happy that some people still poke the hornet's nest, because when the cult of roberts start flinging insults, anyone looking in from outside will be totally tuned off from getting involved with a game that produces such a toxic community. Now, back to the ED forums where.... awwww... gently caress me sideways...

It’s not a cult, but you’re required to keep the faith and shun the apostates; Discussing ecumenical matters with heretics is literally giving comfort and succor to the enemy, and should be avoided lest excommunication follow. Remember to tithe, brotherbrother. It’s not a cult.

So you've introduced "mining" but not any reason to do mining since I assume the credits don't allow you to buy anything and there are zero outputs for the resources gathered among the players. That's great CIG.

Sabreseven posted:Star Citizen, now with extra added tedium. I always wonder what people think they are doing when they use game mechanics like this. Like they're in a spaceship which has a massive amount of automation already. The computer can target the rocks, it can clearly manage the Rock Energy Level. What is this entire process not automated. Like what possible skill based element could there be to 'don't blowup the rock'. You're not examining the rock by eye and seeing how fractures are developing or something, you're just pressing the button when the computer tells you to.

Daztek posted:Also you can only mine if you bought the mining ship lol Star Citizen: Pay to.... Test? Also I can't help but laugh at how much more interesting the Dual Universe mining is. It's just about the right level of tedium: it rewards you for putting effort into prospecting, but the actual mining (the boring part that's never fun no matter how it's implemented) is simple and easy. I wrote a post a while ago about how Star Citizen's mining mechanics are going to be hamstrung by the fact that you must be in a mining ship to do it and it's super funny to see that played out in real time comparisons.
